5 Ways to Celebrate Your Friends This Galentine’s Day

Have you ever celebrated Galentine’s Day? This was my first time to hear about what it was. I mean, I’d heard of Valentine’s Day, but not Galentine’s Day. We all know that Valentine’s Day is a great reminder to tell our significant others how much we love and care about them. But what about the other important people in our lives? That’s right – our girlfriends! Sometimes it’s easy to take our friends for granted and not appreciate them for all the love and joy they bring to our lives. That’s why celebrating Galentine’s Day is so great!

This February 13th gather all your friends and take some time to celebrate how much you mean to each other. Here are 5 Ways to Celebrate Your Friends This Galentine’s Day!

1 – Go out with your friends to a favorite restaurant! Be sure to order drinks and appetizers so you can maximize the amount of time you get to spend with them on Galentine’s Day.

2 – Go to the movies and watch a chick flick or other fun movie (i.e. Magic Mike)! Don’t forget to order your drinks, popcorn and candy to enjoy during the movie.

3 – Go to a theater performance with your friends! Here on the Central Coast, we have a live family theater where you can watch a vaudeville type of performance and enjoy food and drinks at the same time.

4 – Participate in a Secret Sister Gift Exchange! This is kind of like Secret Santa, but is Secret Sister instead. You draw the name of one of the women participating in Galentine’s Day and give her a bag filled with surprise goodies!

5 – Enjoy a night in with your friends (playing games or watching a movie) and eating lots of chocolate goodies and wine! One of my favorite goodies is Chocolate Covered Strawberries from Shari’s Berries. This is a huge hit with family and friends and I especially love the variety of chocolate covered strawberries available from Shari’s Berries. Be sure to order yours today!
